Here at take it easy, there is no State of the Union on TV right now, and no monkey in a red tie is telling me that taking away funding from public schools and testing students into oblivion actually strengthen public schools. La la la! I can't hear you!
Mo, my new favorite web person, posted this list on her blog today. I'm not certain where her local paper is, but these "10 best nutrition moves" sound sensible to me:
1. Eat seven to nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
2. Eat fatty fish two or three times a week.
3. Restrict red meat to once or twice a week.
4. Eat 25 grams of fiber a day.
5. Use olive oil primarily.
6. Eat "good" carbs.
7. Drink three or more cups of tea a day.
9. Shave portions by one-third to half.
10. Take a daily multivitamin.
She has explanations of them all, if you want more detail, also. Except for 9 and 3 (but 3 only by default, not for health reasons), I don't do any of these. In the winter, I get about 2/3 of 7. Sadly, I don't cook most of my own food, so I don't know about 5. I try 10 periodically, and even set up a dorky reminder for it in Outlook, but I do it MAYBE once a week. If a week were actually two weeks long. And I am actively trying to be healthy and good, here.
None of these seem diet-trendy and I'd like to incorporate some of them into my daily eating habits, but nuts? And 25 grams of fiber? And ew, fatty fish. I don't know. Do any of you guys do any of this stuff? Are $300 tax refunds going to save the world?
